Before installing the range in an area covered with

linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering,

make sure the floor covering can withstand heat at
least 90°F above room temperature without

shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the

range over carpeting unless you place an insulating
pad or sheet of 1/4-inch thick plywood between the

range and carpeting.

• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can
withstand the heat generated by the range.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air at the
oven vent nor around the base or beneath the lower
front panel of the range. Avoid touching the vent
openings or nearby surfaces as they may become hot

while the oven is inoperation. This range requires fresh
air for proper burner combustion.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors

or drawers of this range can result in serious injuries
and can also cause damage to the range.

Never leave children alone or unattended

in the area where an appliance is in use. As children
grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.

Never leave the oven door open when the range is
unattended.

Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above the range. Children could be seriously

burned climbing on the range to reach items.
To eliminate the need to reach over the surface

burners, cabinet storage space above the burners
should be avoided.

Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

Excessive flame is hazardous.
Do not use the oven as a storage space. This creates

a potentially hazardous situation.
Never use your range for warming or heating the

room. Prolonged use of the range without adequate

ventilation can be dangerous.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance.

Explosions or fires could result.

Normal Installation Steps

1. Anti-Tip Bracket Installation instructions

Important Safety Warning

To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must

be secured to the floor by properly installed anti-tip bracket

and screws packed with the range. Failure to install the
anti-tip bracket will allow the range to tip over if excessive

weight is placed on an open door or if a child ctimbs upon

it. Serious injury might result from spilled hot liquids or

from the range itself.

If range is ever moved to a different location, the anti-tip
brackets must also be moved and installed with the range.

Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement
fastened to either the floor or wall. When installed to the

wail, make sure that screws completely penetrate dry wall
and are secured in wood or metal. When fastening to the

floor or wall, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical
wiring or plumbing.

Ao

B,

Locate the Bracket Using the Template- (Bracket may
be located on either the left or right side of the range.

Use the information below to locate the bracket if
template is not available). Mark the floor or wall where

left or right side of the range will be located. If rear of
range is against the wall or no further than 1-1/4" from

wall when installed, you may use the wall or floor

mount method. If molding is installed and does not

allow the bracket to fit flush against the wall, remove

molding or mount bracket to the floor. For wall mount,
locate the bracket by placing the back edge of the

template against the rear wall and the side edge of
template on the mark made referencing the side of the

range. Place bracket on top of template and mark
location of the screw holes in wall. If rear of range is
further than 1-1/4' from the wall when installed, attach
bracket to the floor. For floor mount, locate the

bracket by placing back edge of the template where
the rear of the range will be located. Mark the location
of the screw holes, shown in template.

Drill Pilot Holes and Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8" pilot
hole where screws are to be located. If bracket is to be

mounted to the wall, drill pilot hole at an approximate
20 ° downward angle. If bracket is to be mounted to

masonry or ceramic floors, drill a 5/32" pilot hole 1-3/
4" deep. The screws provided may be used in wood or

concrete material. Use a 5/16' nut-driver or flat head
screwdriver to secure the bracket in place.

2. Provide an adequate gas supply.

This unit is designed to operate on 4" natural gas or 10" LP/

Propane manifold pressure. Aconvertible pressure regulator
is connected to the manifold and MUST be connected in

series with the gas supply line regardless of which type of
fuel is being used.

Care must be taken during installation of range not to
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the

regulator should be no more than 14 inches of water

column pressure. The inlet pressure to the regulator must

be at least I inch greater than regulator manifold pressure.
Examples: If regulator is set for natural gas 4 inch manifold

pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 5 inches; if regulator
has been converted for LP/Propane gas 10 inch manifold

pressure, inlet pressure must be at least 11 inches.

Leaktesting of the appliance shall be conducted according
to the instructions in step 4g.

The gas supply line should be 1/2" or 3/4" I.D.

5. Read electrical connection details below
and connect electricity to range.

Before servicing, disconnect electrical

supply at circuit breaker, fuse or power cord.

Electric Reouirements: An individual, properly grounded

and polarized branch circuit protected by a15 amp. circuit
breaker or time delay fuse. See serial plate for proper

voltage.
Extension Cord Precautions:

Becauseof potential safety hazardsunder certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the use of any extension
cord. However, if you still elect to usean extension cord, it

isabsolutely necessarythat it be aULlisted 3-wire grounding
type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying

rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to or greater

than the branch circuit rating. Such extension cords are
obtainable through your local service organization.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! For personal

safety, this product must be properly grounded.

Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.

Checking Manifold Gas Pressure

Disconnect the range and its individual shut-off valve from

the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures greater than 14" of water

column pressure (approximately 1/2" psig).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve

during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system
at test pressures equal to or less than 14" of water column

pressure (approximately 1/2" psig).

If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas pressu re,
connect manometer (water gauge) or other pressu re device

to the top burner right rear orifice. Using a rubber hose
with inside diameter of approximately 1/4," hold tubing
down tight over orifice. Turn burner valve on.

Oven Adjustments

9a. Electric Ignition Burners

Operation of electric igniters should be checked after range
and supply line connectors have been carefully checked for

leaks and range has been connected to electric power.

The oven burner is equipped with an electric control system
as well as an electric oven burner igniter. If your model is

equipped with awaist-high broil burner, it will also have an
electric burner igniter. These control systems require no

adjustment. When the oven is set to operate, current will
flow to the igniter. It will 'glow" similar to a light bulb.
When the igniter has reached a temperature sufficient to

ignite gas, the electrically controlled oven valve will open
and flame will appear at the oven burner. There is a time

lapse from 30 to 60 seconds after the thermostat is turned
ON before the flame appears at the oven burner. When the
oven reaches the dial setting, the glowing igniter will go

off. The burner flame will go "out' in 20 to 30 seconds after
the igniter goes "OFF." To maintain any given oven

temperature, this cycle will continue as long as the dial (or

display) is set to operate.

After removing all packing materials and literature from
the oven:

a) Set oven to BAKE at 300°F. See Owner's Guide for

operating instructions.

b) Within 60 seconds the oven burner should ignite.

Check for proper flame, and allow the burner to cycle
once. Resetcontrols to off.

c) Ifyour model isequipped with a waist-high broiler, set

oven to BROIL. See Owner's Guide for operating
instructions.

d) Within 60 seconds the broil burner should ignite.

Check for proper flame. Reset controlsto off.

a) Turn control to LITE until burner ignites.
b) _ turn knob to LOWEST POSITION.

c) If burner goes out, readjust valve as follows:

Reset control to OFF. Remove the surface burner control
knob, insert a thin-bladed screw driver into the hollow

valve stem and engage the slotted screw inside. Flame size
can be increased or decreased with the turn of the screw.

Adjust flame until you can quickly turn knob from LITE to
LOWEST POSITION without extinguishing the flame. Flame

should be as small as possible without going out.

9b. Standing Pilot Oven Burner

To light the oven pilot, proceed asfollows:

Turn the oven thermostat knob to OFF. Remove oven
bottom, see step 10 for instructions on removing the oven

bottom. Light the oven pilot with a match. The oven pilot
should burn with a stable flame after a few seconds

operation and should have a small flame visible only at the
opening in the top of the pilot assembly.

Turn oven thermostat knob to 300°F. The oven pilot should

now be larger with the flame extending down the slanted
ramp and burning against a small metal bulb.

Primary Pilot Flame

After 20-40 seconds, the main oven burner should ignite
and burn until the oven temperature has reached 300°F. At

that time, the oven pilot should get smaller, moving up
away from the metal bulb which will turn offthe main oven

burner after 20-40 seconds.

Secondary

Pilot Flame

The oven burner will continue to turn off and on to
maintain oven temperature.

10.Air Shutter-Oven Burner

The approximate flame length of the oven burner is 1 inch
(distinct inner, blue flame).

To determine if the oven burner flame is proper, remove the

oven bottom and burner baffle and set the oven to bake at
300°F.

To remove the oven bottom, remove oven hold down

screws at rear of oven bottom. Pull up at rear, disengage
front of oven bottom from oven front frame, and pull the

oven bottom out of the oven. Remove burner baffle so that
the burner flame can be observe.
